Hey Chris,

I'll be building a squareneck hollowneck guitar for Ben Harper in April. It most likely will be a single cone with tricone soundholes, and the construction you were wondering about. It ...

Ha ha! I guess I didn't tell you about your signature model? My fault.

I think a really fun about about learning about the metal working side of things is learning about the tools. Because there's ...

When I was in Sweden Roland Junell stopped by to try out a Mule. He brought his 1929 National tricone. It was super cool to play and check out. I've been really wanting to see what I can do with a t ...

So we have the top and the back done, then for the sides. Just as with the top and back, the sides are sanded to 400 grit. Although all the insides are sealed eventually, the smooth surface helps elim ...

Soldering 101

So soldering is a pretty difficult thing to find information on. Even on the mighty youtube there really isnt a whole lot that applies to metalwork. Old school roofers use the metho ...

The top´s F holes are cut out on a laser cutter. I emailed about 80 waterjet/laser/plasma cutting places and almost all recommended laser.

Hey Solomon,

Not annoying at all. I probably wouldnt get into the 8 string version. I dont have any experience with that, and, at this point anyways, I keep prices low by developing things that I ...

Thanks for the compliment, Mike. The National crowd is a dedicated one. Its nice to find some friends!

The hollownecks were tricones, and National semi-recently started remaking them.

I think they are super cool. The point is to get a bit more resonance out of the guitar. The way I build the singl ...

Hey Solomon,

I do offer a square neck version for single cones at no extra cost and a tricone version at +$50. I actually got my first order for one last week.

Im researching the hollow neck op ...

So this is how they all start out. I buy the sheets of steel in 4x8 sheets. 20 gauge cold rolled mild steel. Hot rolled is cheaper but harder to find in this thickness because its not as accurate. Ho ...

Thanks. Hopefully it is a fun thread. Ill try to get on a computer to get some more pictures up. Im in Sweden delivering four guitars and at a different house.

Hey Everyone,

I found this forum a while back when I had got my GFI. I thought I would start a build thread about the steel-bodied resonators I build. It seems like this is the correct sub-topic fo ...

No handrest? You are a daring man. I do not doubt it's awesomness.

The coverplates I use can be screwed on or off. I would have to say any damage to the cone if the hand rest was off would not be c ...

Hey guys,

I make steel bodied resonators, and I'm looking for a template of the old Dobro M's. If you have one and would be willing to make a tracing of it, please get a hold of me. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I can make them with a square neck. I'm working on designing a spider bridge version now, I'm doing a tricone first.

Ha ha, I burned my fingers twice this morning. Easy to forget it's hot when it's not on fire.

Good Evening All,

About a year ago I was on this forum to figure out my new GFI. That never did happen and I sold it to a good member here.

I spent some time at Huss and Dalton guitars and now ...

I just got this black GFI to start on the steel quest. But alas, I am no longer employed. So I am going to bail before I get too attached. $800 shipped unless you live next door or in California.

Thank you sir. I was getting confused watching videos.

If I have three levers on my GFI student, two of which are on the right instead of the left this means _______.

Thanks for patience in advance Smile

My GFI student will be coming in the mail soon. I was wondering if anyone knows of any steel players in the Chicago area to help me get situated. Thanks!
